Fragmentos de memórias LGBTQIAPN+

um olhar para a cidade de Florianópolis – SC

Abstract

The research is based on the perspective that memory and cultural heritage are essential for the preservation of identity and for the fight against the historical erasure of the LGBTQIAPN+ community. The objective of this article is to investigate the memories and cultural heritage of the LGBTQIAPN+ community in Florianópolis/SC, analyzing their sociocultural and political expressions. To this end, the methodology used is a bibliographical exploratory approach through a narrative literature review, in addition to the technique of pre-structured interviews for data collection and social cartography, complemented by the cartography of feelings,for the data analysis stage. The results highlight events and spaces that are crucial for the LGBTQIAPN+ experience in the city, such as the LGBTI+ Parade, the Feira Diversa and historical places such as the Boate Oppium and the Bar do Deca. These events and spaces serve as points of resistance and celebration of diversity, and are essential for the visibility and inclusion of the community. However, the research also reveals that, although Florianópolis is promoted as a "gay-friendly" destination, there are still challenges related to violence and the lack of representation of the local LGBTQIAPN+ population. This study contributes to the expansion of the understanding of the importance of LGBTQIAPN+ cultural memories in Florianópolis. It highlights the need for more inclusive and representative public policies, as well as the preservation and appreciation of the cultural heritage of this community, which are fundamental to combat historical erasure and promote a more just and diverse society.
